Most likely the PIN request is asking for the IP (Identity Protection) PIN and not the e-file Pin that you are entering. If someone on this return requires an IP PIN, you will need to enter the IRS provided pin for that person.

If you log into your online account from last year, and download a NEW PDF copy of last year's tax file.
That big new PDF file will contain an Information Worksheet, And on the last page (4) of that Info Worksheet is the 5-digit PIN you used last year.
Try that.
